Africa Frontiers Strategy
INSTITUTIONAL
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
The Coronation African Frontiers Strategy aims to maximise the long-term risk-adjusted returns available from investments on the continent through capital growth of the underlying stocks selected. It is a flexible portfolio primarily invested in listed African equities or stocks listed on developed and emerging market exchanges where a substantial part of their earnings are derived from the African continent. The Strategy may hold cash and interest bearing assets where appropriate.
Coronation is a long-term, valuation-driven investment house, focused on bottom-up stock picking. Our aim is to identify mispriced assets trading at discounts to their long-term business value (fair value) through extensive proprietary research. In calculating fair values, through our fundamental research, we focus on through-the-cycle normalised earnings and/or free cash flows using a long-term time horizon. The Portfolio is constructed on a cleanslate basis based on the relative risk-adjusted upside to fair value of each underlying security. The Portfolio is constructed with no reference to a benchmark. We do not equate risk with tracking error, or divergence from a benchmark, but rather with a permanent loss of capital.

The performance shown is gross of fees. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Inherent in any investment is the potential for loss.

In addition, the holdings in the accounts comprising the Strategy may differ significantly from the securities or components that comprise the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFRINDX Index). The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFRINDX Index) has not been selected to represent an appropriate benchmark to compare the Africa Frontiers Strategy's performance, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the Strategy's performance to that of a well-known and widely recognized index.

Notice to Investors in Austria: Interests in the Funds may only be offered in the Republic of Austria in compliance with the provisions of the Austrian Capital Market Act, the Austrian Investment Funds Act and other laws applicable in the Republic of Austria governing the offer, issue and sale of the interests in the Republic of Austria. Interests in the Funds are being offered exclusively to a limited number of investors in Austria and are therefore not subject to the public offering requirements of the Austrian Capital Market Act or the Austrian Investment Fund Act.

The recipients of this Material and other selling material in respect to interests in the Funds have been individually selected and are targeted exclusively on the basis of a private placement.

Notice to Investors in Denmark: In order to invest in the Funds, the investor must invest at least € 50,000. Interests in the Funds are being offered to a very limited number of selected Danish investors and therefore no action has or will be taken that would allow an offering of such interests to the public in Denmark. Further, neither this Material nor any offering material has been registered with the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority or the Danish Business Authority under the relevant Danish acts and regulations on the offering in Denmark of interests in the Fund.

Notice to Investors in Finland: Interests in the Funds will be offered in Finland exclusively to investors qualifying as “professional investors” as defined under the Finnish Act on Mutual Funds (sijoitusrahastolaki, 29.1.1999, as amended, the “MFA”). Accordingly, prospective investors should acknowledge that this Material is not a fund prospectus as meant in the MFA and the marketing of interests in the Funds is not subject to marketing permission from the Finnish Financial Conduct Authority (Rahoitustarkastus; “FIN-FCA”). Furthermore, even if interests in the Funds were to be construed as “securities” as defined in the Finnish Securities Markets Act (arvopaperimarkkinalaki, 26.5.1989/495, as amended, the “SMA”), based on the exemptions set forth in Decree 452/2005 issued by the Ministry of Finance, the offering of interests in the Funds would be exempted from the prospectus requirements of the SMA. Accordingly, prospective investors must acknowledge that this Material is not a prospectus within the meaning set forth in the SMA.

The FIN-FCA has not authorized any offering for the subscription of interests in the Fund; accordingly, interests in the Funds may not be offered or sold in Finland or to residents thereof except as permitted by Finnish law. This Material has been prepared for private information purposes only and it may not be used for, and shall not be deemed, a public offering of interests in the Funds. This Material is strictly for private use by its holder and may not be passed on to third parties or otherwise distributed publicly.

Notice to Investors in Switzerland: Under the Collective Investment Schemes Act of June 23, 2006 (the “CISA”), the offering, sale and distribution of units in foreign collective investment schemes in or from Switzerland are subject to authorization by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. The concept of “foreign collective investment schemes” covers inter alia foreign companies and similar schemes (including those created on the basis of a collective investment contract or a contract of another type with similar effects) created for the purpose of collective investment, whether such companies or schemes are closed end or open end. Units in a foreign investment scheme which has not been authorized by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority may only be promoted in or from Switzerland provided that no public solicitation, offering or advertising is carried out by persons operating in or from Switzerland. There are reasonable grounds to believe that the Funds would be characterized as a foreign collective investment scheme from a Swiss legal point of view. As interests in the Funds have not been and cannot be registered or authorized for distribution under the CISA, any offering of the interests, and any other form of solicitation of investors in relation to the Funds (including by way of circulation of offering materials or information, including the Material, must be made by way of private placement, e.g. by limiting the offering to investors considered as qualified investors as defined in the CISA and in Circular 08/8 Public Offering of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority dated 20 November 2008. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned requirements may constitute a breach of the CISA.
